what I think he was trying to say is there is no SOLID front axle from 1988, which I don't think is true, I think you could get an old style Suburban up till '92, but I'm not enitrely sure. What our 4x4s have is a centersection that has the differential, and than there is a CV axleshaft that goes to each wheel.

if i'm not mistaken there are two constant velocity drive axles attached to the axle shafts in the front axle and/or differencial assembly
